Can you return alcohol at Walmart?

MarynJoe

If I buy a bunch of beer and wine at Walmart for a party, can I return the unopend cases/bottles?

No, I don't want to keep it.  We don't drink.  And I don't want to give away $100 worth of alcohol.

There may be state laws that affect this.  Your best bet is to call your local store and ask them.  People can also help you figure out how much buy so you don't have $100 worth left over.  Plus wine doesn't really go bad.

I have returned beer to the grocery store before when after opening it found it to be skunked.

They gave a refund for 5/6 bottles.

I agree with checking with WM and buying less. If you run out; you run out and guests can drink something else or go home.

Like a PP stated it depends on the state laws. In FL for instance its illegal to refund alcohol regardless of the circumstances.

I just spoke to the customer service people at my Walmart and you CAN return alcohol within 24 hours of the time you purchased it, at the same location.  Who knew?

I have never heard this and I work in a retailer that sells alcohol. I have done returns on wine / beer without it being a problem.
